Tequila Extra Anejo

Extra Añejo Tequila, a relatively new category officially recognized in 2006, represents the zenith of ageing in tequila craftsmanship. Created to cater to connoisseurs seeking utmost complexity and depth, these tequilas are aged for a minimum of three years, surpassing the ageing of Añejo tequilas. This extended maturation in oak barrels allows for a profound transformation, infusing the spirit with a rich, amber colour and a complex profile of flavours and aromas. Extra Añejo's introduction marked a significant evolution in tequila production, acknowledging the exquisite artistry and patience involved in crafting ultra-premium spirits.

Extra Añejo Tequila, with its rich and complex profile, is best enjoyed neat to fully appreciate its nuanced flavours. Serve it at room temperature in a snifter or a tequila glass to allow the aromas to unfold. Pour gently, savour the colour, and let the tequila breathe for a moment before sipping slowly. This method enhances the tasting experience, allowing you to detect the subtle notes of caramel, vanilla, and fine oak. For an elevated experience, pair it with a small piece of dark chocolate or a lightly spiced dish to complement its deep, sophisticated character.

Extra Añejo Tequila starts with the harvesting of mature blue agave plants, whose hearts, or "piñas," are cooked to convert starches into sugars. The cooked agave is then crushed to extract the juices, which are fermented and distilled to create a pure, clear spirit. This spirit is then aged in oak barrels for a minimum of three years, significantly longer than other tequila categories. During this extended ageing, the tequila develops a rich, amber hue and a complex flavour profile, absorbing characteristics from the wood and the barrel's previous contents, resulting in a luxuriously smooth and sophisticated spirit.

To fully appreciate Extra Añejo Tequila, it's best savoured slowly, allowing its complex character to unfold. Pour it into a snifter or tequila glass, which helps concentrate its alluring aromas. Observe the rich colour, then gently swirl the glass to release the bouquet of scents. Take a small sip, letting the tequila coat your palate, and breathe out through your nose to enjoy the full spectrum of flavours. As a sipping tequila, it's not meant to be rushed or mixed. Instead, relish each sip during a quiet moment, perhaps alongside a square of dark chocolate or a fine cigar to enhance the experience.
